EA BUILD 0.001.007 // (16.09.26)
Today we pushed build EA 000.001.007: our 7th update since entering Early Access on 24 AUG.
This comprises over 120+ bug fixes, improvements, QoL/feature requests since our initial launch. That does not include all the work done to implement new mechanics/features that will roll out with the Oct 7 update.
This also continues an aggressive update schedule that we've maintained since launching the first closed Alpha build prior to the Kickstarter.
Thanks as always for backing the build, bug reports, feedback and believing in the mission.
Always Forward.
